The Supreme Court announced Tuesday that it will take up a case challenging the legality of President Barack Obama's executive actions aimed at granting quasi-legal status and work permits to up to five million people who entered the U.S. illegally as children or who have children who are American citizens.

The high court's widely-expected move gives Obama a chance to revive a key legacy item that has been in limbo for nearly a year, since a federal judge in Texas issued an order halting immigration moves the president announced just after the 2014 midterm elections.

The justices are expected to hear arguments on the issue in April and to hand down a ruling by the end of June.

I expect the worst. I imagine Anthony Kennedy will pen a nine stanza erotic poem to the power and majesty of executive orders and that "feeling of America" you get in you boner.
